Sean Spicer pissed off journalists and liberals yet again Tuesday by calling on a conservative outlet first at his press briefing. On Monday, the press corps was up in arms after Spicer called on the New York Post.

But the response was much more heated Tuesday after Spicer called on Laura Ingraham’s LifeZette.

Brietbart and Lifezette are not news organizations and shouldn’t be treated as such

— Joel Pavelski (@joelcifer) January 24, 2017

Lifezette, a blog run by Laura Ingraham that has repeatedly engaged in conspiracy theories/lies, got first question at WH Press Briefing.

I don’t think The Blaze will be on the list. Glenn Beck bashed Trump non-stop.

Those Liberals aren’t very liberal when it affects their pay checks.

Until the “management” at these media outlets requires that their reporters are actually informed and up on issues, Spicer should continue to diss them.

Frankly, the msm press pool makes the hosts of ET look smart in comparison. The msm only wants to cover crowd size and other diversions, they cannot seem to actually discuss the issues and the great job Trump is already doing.

Blogs are the future and the ultimate future I think is us:

crowd-sourced news by people who don’t swear their heads off and have no emotional problems.

I think we’re the Napster of News.

By the way... what is the difference between a “journalist” and any other citizen?

The journalist tells the truth and only the truth, citizens lie silly.

If it were me, I’d have a list of the reporters and the list would be ordered from most Conservative down to most Liberal.
I’d call on the reporters by their ranking on the list,conservative first.

Breitbart broke the story about Kerry O’Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Denver district yesterday. What had MSM been doing for the past 3 months regarding this story?

President Trump should have a new rule. Those news media who factually report the news will be called upon in the press room.

Those news media who hide the news or fake the news will not be called upon in the press room.

Reporter is to journalist as teacher is to educator. The terms journalists and educators are used to inflate the importance and prestige of the occupations reporter and teacher. It is an attempt to inflate an occupation into a vocation.

The Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.

President Trump currently has “the gold” so he and his administration can make the rules. The media needs to check THEIR perceived ‘elitist privilege’ at the door to the briefing room.

By denying the correspondent the question, he upsets their entire nightly broadcast formula. By making them go last, they lose the opportunity to be the first to ask the question and receive a fresh answer. If they go last and ask the question for now the third time, they lose the momentum in Spicer's answer, and they just look petty for not letting a subject go.

And what are the petulant members of the esteemed 4th Estate going to do about it? Write fake stories about Trump? They're already doing that.

They're probably slow learners in the MSM, but it will eventually dawn on them that the power and they hold over others vanishes in an instant if the person they are writing about doesn't give a rat's ass about humoring them.

“Briefing today at 1 pm”

Thanks. If they went crazy yesterday over “voting fraud” they’re really going to lose it today. This should be fun.
